President Donald Trump threatened Apple at least 25 % prices if he does not produce his iPhone in the United States, increases the pressure on the tech giant to secure more domestic production.
In a post on the true social social on Friday, Trump said, “I have long informed Apple’s Tim Cook that I expect a iPhone that will be sold in the United States, it will be manufactured and built in the United States, not in India, or anywhere.” “If not, then at least 25 percent of the revenue will have to be paid to the United States by Apple.”
The US Equity Future earned a session on Trump’s announcement and a 50 percent tariff on goods from the European Union, which began on June 1. The Nice Deck 100 contracts led to the reduction, while Apple’s trade before shares declined by more than four percent.
The President’s Manufacturing Demands in the United States are a tough challenge to the company, which has been focused in China for years of supply for popular phones. The United States lacks the ecosystem that can be found in Apple suppliers, manufacturing and engineering, which can be found in Asia only-for only-for-.
Apple, which has become Trump’s constant target, did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the president’s threat. Earlier this month, the company had warned that it would face $ 900 million (about Rs 7,674 crore) in the current quarter.
Last week, during his Middle Eastern trip, Trump said he had asked Apple’s chief executive officer Tim Cook to stop construction of plants in India, so that the iPhone maker could increase domestic production due to staying away from China.
Trump said of his conversation, “Yesterday I had a little problem with Tim Cook.” “He’s building all over India. I don’t want you to build in India.”
Apple said earlier this year that it intended to spend $ 500 billion (about Rs 42.63,505 crore) in the United States in the next four years, which would include a new spending work on server manufacturing in Houston with a supplier in Michigan and its existing suppliers in the country.
But this reduces the complete change in Trump’s considered US -based production. The manufacture of its signature iPhone and other devices will be a huge step for Capetino -based company -based company Caprotino.
Apple’s largest FATP facilities are widely and out of understanding for many out of the short-Asia for the final assembly, test and packout. They are almost Tows City themselves, with millions of people, schools, gyms, medical facilities and hostels. A large iPhone factory, which is a complex in Zengzo, has been named as the iPhone City.
Apple’s labs in Silicon Valley still begin to develop new iPhones and other products. But working with Asian -based suppliers and other partners is already hit by a product from a product. Apple engineers and operations experts work in conjunction with months or years with Foxkan Technology Group, Pagittern Corporation and other suppliers to customize the assembly of new equipment.
One of the famous counterpoint is that Apple should use its cash hoard to buy thousands of acres in the United States and facilitate robotic and automatic iPhone manufacturing. This will remove any human challenge from the manufacturing process, but supply chain experts say it is not realistic because of the changing demands. Also, most of the manufacturing equipment is made in China.
In recent weeks, Apple’s pressure has been identified as the president’s first term, when Coke has taken advantage of personal relations with Trump to win a tariff image for Apple’s product. In investors on Wall Street, it indicates uncertainty about the impact of Trump’s trade policy on one of the world’s most valuable companies.
“This is a red flag for me that Trump is continuing to abolish Apple,” said Randy Hare, director of Equity Research at Huntington National Bank, and it seems something against him. “This doesn’t mean that Trump is going to do anything more, but you can’t predict what is going to happen, and it makes me careful.”
Coke was one of several major tech executives and billionaires who tried to court Trump after his return in November.
Apple’s CEO traveled to Trump’s Mara-A-Logo State in Florida so that it was for several private meetings and dinner. He also sat behind the president at the inauguration in January, along with Elon Musk, Google’s Sunder Pachai, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta Platforms and Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com.
